Sony Music’s Columbia/Epic Label Group has announced that a new single called “This Is It” hits the airwaves today, October 12, two weeks before it is available as part of a two-disc album released by the late King of Pop’s record label in an understandable cash grab, the first of an avalanche, no doubt.

The song was originally co-written with Paul Anka and was included as the song “I Never Heard” on the 1991 album I Wasn’t Born Yesterday by Sa-Fire. This version has partially different lyrics.

Co-producer of the album, John McClain comments: “This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows – that Michael is one of God’s greatest gifts”.

The song features backing vocals from Michael’s brothers, The Jacksons, though it is unclear whether these vocals were recorded at the same time as the rest of the song, or if they were added after Michael’s death.
